Dr. Amy Hecht
Psychologist, PhD
My practice is grounded in one central idea: that family, in all of its forms, deserves to be understood, supported, and thoughtfully nurtured. I have the privilege of working with individuals, couples, and families at some of the most meaningful—and often most vulnerable—moments in their lives. Whether someone is building a family, navigating challenges within one, or redefining what family means to them, my goal is always to create a space that feels both safe and genuinely supportive.
A significant part of my work focuses on family building, including comprehensive evaluations for adoption, assisted reproduction, and other non-traditional pathways to parenthood. I have extensive experience working with adoptive parents, intended parents, and families formed through surrogacy, donation, and other modern family-building processes. These evaluations are not just procedural—they are an opportunity to reflect, prepare, and enter parenthood with clarity and confidence.
In addition to evaluation work, I provide therapy for individuals, couples, and families. I approach this work with warmth, directness, and deep respect for each person’s experience. Whether addressing relationship strain, life transitions, trauma, or the complexities of parenting, I aim to help people better understand themselves and each other, and to move forward with intention.
I have a particular passion for working with non-traditional families—those whose paths may fall outside of conventional expectations but are no less meaningful or deserving of support. My practice is inclusive, affirming, and grounded in the belief that there is no single “right” way to build or be a family.
Above all, I strive to offer a space where people feel seen, understood, and guided—not judged. This is deeply personal work, and I consider it an honor to be part of my clients’ journeys.

Philadelphia Couples Therapy
Psychologist, PsyD
We are a collective of couples psychologists united by the shared conviction that relationships deserve more emotional care and community support than our culture provides. Building and sustaining a loving partnership isn’t meant to happen in isolation — it takes a village. In today’s world, we ask more of our partners than ever before. Our partners are our confidants, our co-parents, our lovers, our best friends, and the witnesses to both our strength and our vulnerability. This profound closeness is one of life’s greatest gifts, yet it can also create immense pressure. At PCT, we strive to be that village — a steady emotional anchor for couples navigating the highs and lows of connection.
Every kind of couple is welcome here: those deeply in love, those in conflict, those recovering from betrayal, and those unsure of how to move forward. Together, we help partners rediscover what first drew them together while uncovering new ways to grow intimacy and trust. Our work isn’t about perfection — it’s about helping two people feel seen, understood, and supported as they evolve together.
Sometimes, relationships reach a crossroads. The clinicians at PCT are skilled at holding space for both partners’ perspectives, guiding them through painful or uncertain transitions toward clarity and peace. That might mean learning to co-parent respectfully, parting ways with compassion, or exploring whether staying together is truly right. Even after a breakup, we help couples find a way to relate from steadier ground — because healing, too, is a form of love. We remain beside you for as long as you need, until the storm calms and a new balance emerges.
We also offer individual therapy for those seeking personal growth, clarity, or support. Whether you’re navigating life transitions, managing stress, or simply looking to better understand yourself, our psychologists provide a safe, compassionate space to explore your goals and challenges.

Dr. Vincent Dyer - Dyer Psychology, Inc
Psychologist, PsyD
Most of the people I work with are functioning — sometimes very well — but privately aware that something deserves real attention. That might be burnout, grief, anxiety that doesn't have an obvious source, a relationship under strain, or a growing sense that who they are and who they've become don't quite line up.
What they have in common isn't a career level or a specific presenting problem. It's that they're serious about understanding what's actually going on — not just getting through it.
My practice is private pay and selective. I also conduct comprehensive psychological evaluations for adults, including ADHD assessment and diagnostic clarification. I hold a PSYPACT license, meaning I'm authorized to provide telehealth therapy across 40+ states — the full list is above.
If this sounds like where you are, a brief consultation is a low-stakes way to find out if we're a good fit.
